I threw my first rock of the season just last week, and for many of you, the curling season will officially start after Thanksgiving. But the high performance teams are well into their season, and there are several events running each week across the country.

The KW Fall Classic was held in Kitchener, Ontario, from September 20-23. Hot off their win in Oakville only two weeks earlier, Erika Brown’s U.S. team emerged as the victors on the women’s side of the draw. Deb McCormick, Goldline’s exclusive distributor in the U.S., tells us that her team used the Norway pad for its last four games of the competition and came out with a win in each of those matches. Coincidence?

This past weekend, the key event on the calendar was the Prestige Hotels and Resorts Classic in Vernon, B.C.. Goldline would like to recognize Shannon Kleibrink and her team who made it to the semi-final round of the event (using Norway pads, of course). And we wish Jim Cotter and his team the best of luck as they continue in the hunt for the men’s title today.

On the women’s side, the team skipped by Erika Brown from the U.S.A. came out on top. The vice on the Brown team is none other than Debbie McCormick, a 3-time Olympian, a six-time world medallist at both the junior and senior levels of play (including the gold medal in 2003), and a key individual distributor for Goldline in the U.S.A. Over the course of the competition, Debbie used Goldline’s new horse hair brush and she had nothing but praise for it: “The horse hair broom was extremely light. Sweeping seemed effortless!”

Scarborough: We’re delighted to announce that our east end store has also moved…..but not far! It is also still in the same building at 2250 Midland Avenue (immediately south of the 401), but has relocated around the corner into unit 16, which is a larger space to serve you better.
